New for the YOG!

Unlike at the IWF Junior World Championships, where medals are awarded for the two individual lifts (the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk), at the YOG medals were awarded only for the overall score when the results from both lifts are put together.Competition format

Each country could send up to four athletes – two women and two men – with only one athlete per weight category allowed. The competition in each weight category consisted of two parts: the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk, with a 10-minute break between the two. Each competitor could take three attempts at weights of their choosing in both the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk. The best results were added together to form a total score, which decided the ranking. Each competitor had one minute to start their attempt after their name was announced (or two minutes, if they were following themselves).
